The Body Shop Colour Crush Lipstick - 200 Peachy Pink

I've been hearing a ton of buzz surrounding The Body Shop's Colour Crush Lipsticks in the blogging world, and today I have shade #200 Peachy Pink* ($12.50/0.12oz.) to share with you! I'm a huge lipstick lover, but I don't think that I've ever tried out a lipstick from The Body Shop before. Needless to say, I was really excited to try out this new formula!

I really like the packaging of these Colour Crush lipsticks! The lids are colour matched to the lipstick shade, which makes finding the right shade in your handbag a lot easier. The label on the bottom of the tube is also colour matched. Little details like that make me really happy! The shade #200 Peachy Pink is quite true to its name, although I think it does lean a bit more pink than peach. This colour does have a hint of frostiness to it, which I find looks quite nice. The Body Shop's website is currently listing this shade as a matte, but I assure you that it definitely is not a matte shade!

This formula is incredibly creamy and hydrating, which does result in a shorter wear time. I find that I have to reapply this shade roughly every 2 hours, but reapplying is really easy and you don't need a mirror. This formula feels really nice on the lips, almost like you're just wearing a lip balm.

I'm really liking The Body Shop's Colour Crush Lipstick, and I'm wanting a darker shade for Fall and Winter! Shade #125 Crazy Sexy Crimson looks beautiful, I'll have to stop by a store and swatch it! Have you tried any of The Body Shop's Colour Crush Lipsticks? Which shades are your favourites?
